SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,084, dated July 1, 1890.

Application led Apn'l 8, 1890.

T all whom it vta/y concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. TATUM, a resident of the city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented'an 11nprovement in Fountain-Syringes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, wherein- Figure l is a vertical section of the closed io vessel containing my syringe, and showing the syringe within it in side View. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof, showing the upper cover of the box swung open. Fig. 3 is a bottom view thereof, showing the lower cover of the box swung open. Fig. i is a vertical cross section ol' the fountain-syringe in the box when both lids of the box are'open, and Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view showing how the syringe is secured in the box.

zo This invention relates to a new combination ot' a fountainsyringe with the box within which the same may bc packed, the combination having for its object the more intimate connection between the syringe and the box, so that both may at all proper times be used conjointly, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A represents the bag, and the letter B the tube,

3o of an ordinaryfountainsyringe. rlhe mouth of the bag A isprovided with a stiffeningrim a, of wire or the like, for the purpose of holding it distended and for supporting it in the box D. This box differs from older boxes in having two lids instead of one, an upper lid E and a lower lid F. The stiffened rim o. of the bag A fits on a shoulder l), formed in the upper part of the box D, as shown in Figs. et and 5, thus permitting the fountain- 4.o syringe to be suspended while in use from said box.

Vhen the fountain-syringe is to be used, both lids E and F are swung open, as in Fig. 4, the upper lid E serving, if desired, as a means of suspending the fountain from a wall or bracket. In Fig. 4 the particular manner of suspension is shown in form of a nail d, passing through a hole in the lid E into a wall; but other means for securing the box D to a wall may be used. The lower lid 5o F when opened, as in Fig. 4, allows the fountain-syringe to drop down and to be suspended from the box D, and in this form the syringe can be used, yet when not to be used it is convenient to pack the syringe-bag into the box, as in Fig. l, closing both lids, and thus 4always having all the parts ready for con- 1. The combination of the fountain-syringe 7o` A B with the box D, having movable lids E and F on opposite sides, and with means for suspending the reservoir portion of the syringe from the said box D when open, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown 7 5 and described. e

2. The combination of the fountain-syringe A B, having stilfened rim o at the mouth of its bag, with the box D, having shoulder Z1 for the support of said stiifened rim, and with Se the lids E and F, with which said box is grovided, substantiallyT as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
